Unfortunately it would mean I'd get more hate mail than I already get ;D But it seems to be the only way to go I think. or else move the contest to a third party site, in which case the winner could be someone who's never made a single comment or contributed anything to either the youtube or forum communities. |

Maybe just 30 days prior to the announcement of the contest wouldn't be as bad. I've seen posters with very helpful post in their first month so not as alienating as 6 months. Sent from my Milestone X using Tapatalk 2 |

IMHO the 5 post rule doesn't work well. But it's not too bad to change the rules. Looking at the graphs it just take a week to calm down. |

The contests get loads of new members in. I bet some of them stick around and keep the place vivid. Doesn't that go away if you put in restrictions? |

New members are always good. the inactive ones tend to disappear over time as the forum gets a regular clean up and those who have not posted in months and who have not visited are quietly deleted. Good to get a regular influx of new members ,and if only 1% become regular it is better for all of us. |
